Chapter 4: Is This Some New Poison Method?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When the Crown Prince was 18 years old, the Emperor passed away. The Crown Prince was escorted by the General, and ascended to the throne. As the Crown Princess, the female lead should have become the Empress, but instead she became the Imperial Consort.

In an instant, she became the laughingstock of the entire Imperial Capital. Before she could even question it, the newly crowned Emperor had already attacked the General’s Estate.

In the end, the General’s Estate was falsely accused of a crime, and the entire family was executed. She was banished to the Cold Palace. Meanwhile, the Emperor married the Empress, and the entire capital celebrated.

Later, the Cold Palace caught fire and burned to ashes. When the Emperor arrived, only ruins remained.

This was a typical ancient script. Shen Wanwan couldn’t help but complain when she read this.

However, she did not expect that there would be a twist in the story. The daughter of the General, who was supposed to have died in the Cold Palace appeared on the battlefield as a female General of the enemy country. She led the enemy army to avenge her family.

She overcame all obstacles and broke into the palace. When she faced the man sitting on the dragon throne, she did not hesitate and killed him.

She burned down the palace and she was buried here. This was the end of the story.

The role that Shen Wanwan was going to audition for was the personal maid of the General’s daughter. The character had a likable personality, and she had a decent amount of screen time.

After Shen Wanwan finished the novel in one go, she let out a deep sigh and immediately called Lin Ze.

The call was answered promptly, and Lin Ze’s voice could be heard on the other end of the phone.

“Have you finished reading the script? What do you think of it? Do you have the confidence to get this role?” Lin Ze asked.

“I’ve finished reading it. The script is good. As for the role, I’m confident that I can get it,” Shen Wanwan replied.

Before crossing over here, she was a Best Actress in the entertainment industry. This kind of plot was a piece of cake for her.

“Great. The audition is scheduled to start the day after tomorrow. In the next two days, you should go over the script and try to get a feel for the character. I’ll come to pick you up early in the morning on the day of the audition, so send me the address,” Lin Ze said.

“Okay,” Shen Wanwan replied.

The two of them chatted for a while before hanging up. Shen Wanwan put down her phone and stretched.

Glancing at the time, she realized that she had been reading the script for five hours. Since it was autumn, and the sky was getting darker.

She got up and walked to the kitchen, deciding to prepare dinner before Ji Jinxian returned.

Before entering the kitchen, Shen Wanwan was full of confidence. She took out her phone and searched for the recipe. However, half an hour later, there was a crackling sound coming from the kitchen.

“Oh no, why is this different from the online?”

At this moment, Shen Wanwan was wearing an apron. She held a spatula in her left hand and a lid in her right hand. Her gaze was fixed on the boiling oil in the pot.

Seeing that the oil was ready, she grabbed the unprocessed fish and threw it into the pot, causing a loud crackling sound to reverberate throughout the kitchen.

The hot oil splashed onto Shen Wanwan’s exposed skin, causing her to cry out in pain.

Shen Wanwan only could ignore the fish in the pot, she hurried to the sink to rinse off her arms. Meanwhile, the pot continued to boil furiously, and more oil spilled onto the floor.

At this moment, Ji Jinxian pushed the door open. He stood at the entrance and changed his shoes. Suddenly, he smelled a burnt smell.

Instantly, he frowned and rushed to the kitchen. Standing at the kitchen doorway and looking at the mess in the kitchen, Ji Jinxian felt on the verge of collapsing.

[Does Shen Wanwan want to demolish the kitchen?]

[Or is she trying to poison me with her cooking in order to take over my property?]

[Is this some kind of new poisoning method?]

The familiar voice made Shen Wanwan turn around instantly, and she saw Ji Jinxian frowning slightly.

“Um, let me explain…”

Before Shen Wanwan could quibble, the oil in the pot boiled over again. Ji Jinxian ignored the oil stains on the floor and quickly turned off the stove.

The kitchen was now a complete mess, with oil stains covering the floor and tiles. It was no longer recognizable as a kitchen anymore.

“Do you have a problem with the kitchen?”

Ji Jinxian leaned against the kitchen door and looked at Shen Wanwan.

[Otherwise, why did you make such a mess of the kitchen?]

Shen Wanwan was speechless.

Was it too late for me to quibble now?

Looking at the messy kitchen, Ji Jinxian took out his phone and called for a cleaner. While they waited for the cleaner, he ordered takeout.

“I’m sorry. I wanted to cook, but I didn’t expect to make such a mess of the kitchen,” Shen Wanwan apologized.

She lowered her head and felt guilty. She had clearly followed the cooking video, but she did not know what mistake she had made and exploded the kitchen.

She felt wronged and guilty. Looking at Shen Wanwan, who had lowered her head to apologize, Ji Jinxian sighed softly as he looked at the messy kitchen. “It’s fine. The kitchen needs to be renovated. Go back to your room and change your clothes.”

“Alright.”

Shen Wanwan nodded and turned around to return to her room. As she changed her clothes, the cleaner and the takeout arrived. Ji Jinxian opened the door and took the takeaway and led the cleaning lady into the kitchen.

Looking at the messy kitchen, the mouth of the cleaning lady twitched, but she didn’t say anything and quickly got to work.

When Shen Wanwan came out after changing her clothes, Ji Jinxian had already placed the takeout on the table. She walked over to sit opposite Ji Jinxian and they ate quietly together.

[Is this girl scared of me? Why is she so quiet?]

[It’s possible. Was my tone too harsh just now?]

The quiet living room was filled with the sound of Ji Jinxian’s nagging. In order to stop him from overthinking, Shen Wanwan could only use her chopsticks to pick up some food for Ji Jinxian.

“Hubby, have some vegetables.”

“Cough, cough, cough.”

Ji Jinxian, who was eating seriously, choked on his food and started coughing violently.

[What’s wrong with Shen Wanwan today?]

[She was calling him Mr. Ji earlier and now she’s calling him hubby. Why is she so unpredictable?]

Shen Wanwan, who was labeled as unpredictable felt speechless.

She just wanted to bring them closer.

Ji Jinxian didn’t need to be so surprised, did he?

“Here, drink some water, hubby.”

Shen Wanwan complained silently, but she still looked like a good wife and handed him a glass of water.

As Ji Jinxian looked at the water in front of him, he hesitated.

[Could there be some poison in the water?]

[Is this some new way of murder?]

At this moment, Shen Wanwan seemed like a bad person who wanted to poison him in Ji Jinxian’s eyes.

Shen Wanwan, who had been misunderstood twice in a row felt speechless again.

Bastard!

If it weren’t for the fact that he was her sugar daddy, Shen Wanwan would have already poured water on his face.

“What’s wrong, hubby? Why aren’t you drinking water? Do you suspect that I’ve poisoned it?”

Shen Wanwan asked Ji Jinxian with a fake smile, even though he still had that cold expression on his face.

“I’m fine,” Ji Jinxian replied.

“Well then, if you’re not going to drink it, just leave it there. Holding it is tiring.”

Shen Wanwan secretly gritted her teeth. Who said that this d*mn mind-reading power was useful?

She did not want to know what Ji Jinxian thought at all.

The more she heard, the angrier she became.

“Leave it there.”

Ji Jinxian tapped the coffee table beside him and picked up his chopsticks to continue eating without looking at the water on the table.

Looking at the scumbag’s face, Shen Wanwan wanted to kill him. Fortunately, the meal did not last long.
